I remember firing one, tipping the barrel forward and hearing those pellets roll out LOL

I cant imagine those do a rifled barrel anything good?

The pellets are not a harder steel than the barrel, but I'd be sure to clean it after using those....

Do pellet guns kill raccoons or just move 'em along? I got one pestering my backyard...big sucker too.

rip, only if the raccoon allows you to kill it. if it scoots then a lucky lung/heart shot will but for supreme raccoon gratification the animal needs to stand on it's hinds and hiss at you, aim for the shiny things. it works every time. practice shooting at pennies at 10- 20 feet. they have cleaned my fish pond out. they love goldfish and crawfish. we killed a 28lb male recently.

Bowls of cat food.

Live Traps.

Use separately or in conjunction.

That's what has attracted this monster, dog food and earthworms. He's been digging up my lawn. My dog had to go to the vet after having a coon fight with this bastard. Bit his front elbow (arthritic elbows, he's 14) and it cost me $174 for a trip to the vet ER room on a sunday. Would be a good "skinning" lesson for the kids too.

Get yourself a live trap and put the food in a bowl in the trap. You'll have yourself a raccoon in the morning and a .22 pistol will finish the job.

DO NOT however place the trap on a deck as the raccoon will claw the bejesus out of the deck requiring you to sand and re weatherproof that portion of the deck.

We live in the "un-incorporated" part of the county so firearms are okay, however our homeowners association in this 60-home estate doesn't allow firearms and I have this real nosey, anal neighbor that will ***** like hell...so I'll have to use the pellet rifle. This big presumably male is real brave, just stands there and stares when I open the sliding glass door, from 10 feet away. I'll put one in his bellybutton first and see if he really wants to return before I plink his eyebrow out.

The only way to kill a raccoon is to think like a raccoon.

"find food. Eat. Eat more. Crap somewhere. Want sex. Find female. Big noise! look around! Big human! run! run! run! find food. Eat."

It's not helping.

Those 22 bird shot rounds are great for pissing off squirrels too. We use them to flush the red squirrles out of hiding and then pop them with the regular rounds (we use thunderbolts). Pop off a few rounds of scatter in the general direction the squirrel is hiding in, and you'll either sting him and get him pissed or hit close enough to him that he'll try and run when you stop shooting.

As for the raccoon, if you want to just get rid of him without killing him, crazy glue a piece of rock salt into the nose of a hollow-tipped pellet (either .177 or .22, either works) and pop him in the derrierre. They're smart, he'll get the idea that he's not wanted there.

Take you .22 rifle and tape a plastic coke bottle over the muzzle. Homemade suppresor that is good for a couple of shots. Sounds like a pellet gun. Winchester XX 37 grain jacketed hollow points and your good to go. Pop that coon in the eye from 10 feet and no more worries. Your anal neighbor wont even hear it.

Raccoons are like gophers right?

License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.
